You can use energy suspension bushings. I just did mine about 2 weeks ago. I'll send you a pm

Many have complained of the energy bushing being TOO tight. They are cheap though, if you want to try.

[drtracer27]

The energy suspension bushings are extremely tight if you use the bracket that comes with them. If you use the stock bracket and only put the shim 1/4" shim behind the bushing it is not tight. It is actually easier to turn than by buddies is stock. I guess it is always possible for others to get different results though.

and where do we get these energy bushing? anyone got a link please?

[jg462003]

You can get the energy suspension bushing at autozone....21.00. the grease zerk is in the wrong spot tho. I ended have to remove it because the tank didn't fit. I greased it real good, I'll have to remove tank now to grease it. Polarisriders.com had a good explanation of how to do this job. just go to the How to page.

good luck

I just put a thin piece of plastic inside the clamp to take up the slack. it was free. we'll see how long that lasts...
